If you're interested in seeing Jo Yuri take on a different type of survival program, she's currently in Squid Game Season 2. :P Erii is one of the contestants I mentioned last time as having no idea what she signed up for when she went to Korea. She's said in interviews since the show aired that she went to Korea thinking that it was going to be a performance and didn't know it was a competition until they started filming evaluations, which is part of the reason why she looks so wildly unprepared in this episode.

well I at least managed to spot AleXa this time, she had like 5 seconds of screentime this episode 🤣 It's fun watching the Japanese trainees already growing so much, they definitely have the drive and it's nice they're getting help from the Korean trainees as well. Little anecdote; I have a bunch of friends in the U.S. Marine Corps stationed in Okinawa as Cadre that do interoperability exercises with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and the primary takeaway they get from cross-training is just how detail oriented the Japanese are when learning from them. It seems engrained in their culture to really focus on the minutiae of whatever subject matter they study, to the point where it becomes obsessive in nature and they become extremely fast learners. Makes the Cadre's jobs a lot easier and makes for good ROI in an allied force.

Watching this right after watching a le sserafim stage is wild, especially for Sakura, it gave me a brand new appreciation of her. I knew she had a long jpop career before but I assumed (and now i remember why you're never supposed to do that) that it was a similar training than for kpop idols, I didn't realize how much she had to learn since she decided to redebut in korea, and seeing how she is now makes me so proud of her, not just her success but the way her skills skyrocketed in just a few years. Yujin is someone else I know now as force of nature and it feels like i'm about to witness how that came to be too!
